Doctor doctor.... sheesh....

i was thinking just yesterday( i try not to make a habit of it but yeah...) what the polyclinic doctor told me about my the pain in my leg.. he said it was a strain and that i should stop running and get some rest it's a good thing i asked for further treatment... so he wrote me a letter to see an orthopedic at CGH...

was then sent to SGH for a bone scan...as it turns out i have a stress fracture on my tibia ( hair line crack ) ( and it can't be seen in an x-ray ) ( was injected with an isotope and it sort of adds dimensions to the fracture ) and it's toxic....

basically the two bones of the lower leg are called the tibia and fibula. The tibia is the larger of the two and its role is load bearing. The fibula is the smaller of the two and its role is mainly for muscle attachment. Either of these bones can have stress fractures. The most common site however is two to three inches above the bony bit on the inside of the ankle (medial malleolus) on the tibia bone ( which is what i have). so i've gotta take it real slow...

went swimming on tuesday then cycling on wednesday.... and cycling on thursday as well...
WHAT!!! it was a slow cycle.... hahaha... next appointment is on 1 september.... man... by the time i'm given the proper medication...it would have healed.....hahahaha it's already been3 months...
